Dowling’s charismatic and elegant style of pianism specializes in the works of Chopin, Gershwin, American ragtime and French Impressionism. He has been hailed by The New York Times as an “especially impressive fine young pianist” who appears in orchestral and solo performances throughout the world.

His performance at the MFA will include works by Scott Joplin, famed African-American composer of Classic Ragtime.
